3D surface anatomy guide could revolutionise medical education
Set to revolutionise medical education globally, Irish researchers are the creative brains behind the world’s first 3D surface anatomy online guide. By using movement, colour, illustration and 3D technology, the guide will aim to make it possible for anatomists, engineers and artists to teach the body to students from the outside in, all online. ...
The project was a partnership between anatomists Dr Valerie Morris and Prof Clive Lee from RCSI, engineers David Corrigan and Academy Award-winner Anil Kokaram from Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and artists Mick O’Dea, Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA), and Una Sealy ARHA, from the Royal Hibernian Academy.
The collaborators combined artistic representation, engineering expertise and anatomical accuracy into a four-hour teaching programme and will shortly be part of the curriculum/training for medical students in Dublin, Bahrain and Kuala Lumpur. ...
